The sad truth is that slavery had the "owner" being responsible for his "property" while the freed slaves were treated worse, because the people with money and the jobs werent responsible anymore. Obviously there was a lot of mistreatment during slavery, but you would be stupid to simply waste your workforce by mistreating them. Only through "freedom" did "hire and fire" start. In late 19th century some great industrialists started "taking care of" their workforce and built decent housing close to the factory and invested in health care and such ... but since managers have taken over the big companies instead of them being "ruled" by someone "from the family that started it" ... the whole idea of "caring for your workforce" has gone down the drain again. Long story short: Slavery wasnt "all bad" and freedom isnt "all good". No point in shying away from saying slavery or other "evil words" (which is something that doesnt exist anyways because words always get their meaning through the context and the way they are used).

Old post, I know, and I love the series, but this post just irks me. Slavery is not a good thing. It never has been, it never will. Did some slave owners treat their slaves better than others? Yes. Does that make it excuseable? Hell no! I mean is there really a meaningful difference between being "inherently evil" and “existing within and willingly benefitting from an inherently evil policy"? To a slave owner, the slave, the *person* was property. They did not "treat them well" because they had empathy for them. If they did, they wouldn't keep slaves in the first place. They did it out of the same reason that you or I take care to clean up the rust on our gardening tools: because they viewed slaves (again: human beings) as their property and living tools to make easy money for them. Did some of those slaves still fare better because their "owner" took the most basic steps to ensure that they are fit enough to work themselves to death for him (as in feeding them, etc.)? Yes. Did the same owner also still view them as property and could kill/torture/maim or rape them at will? Also: yes. "Good" slavery is still slavery. And it should never, ever be shown in even the slightest shade of positive light. Because there is nothing "good" about slavery.

Selageth Slavery saved many slaves' lives and staved off disaster for societies. Also, the lives of free men were often in jeopardy while slaves often had protections that were not available to free men. The life-expectancy of an average slave in United States was into their 50's. At the turn of the 20th century, the average life-expectancy in the US was about 45 years. Here is a specific example that would surprise many in this day of Hollywood portrayals. If you were in a slaving ship on the way to the Americas, your chances of surviving that passage would be greater than if you were a crewman aboard.

And not only this, but we always tried to give (unwanted apparently) advice on how it's best to behave, why humility and altruism are virtues and all that crap.... We've done our parts, so we can't be blamed of anything in this regard. If mankind is utterly selfish and egocentric (which it is). then we're gonna fucking die.

This series was so incredible, from beginning to the end. Filled with heartfelt passion, hard work, dedication, emotion and love for mankind, animals and nature...the never ending cycle of life. I smiled, I cried. My heart aches as it has come to an end, for I so wanted it to continue on; or at least watch the next generation of homemakers/farmers. Peter's heart broke a bit leaving the pigs, you could see it in his eyes. He got so attached. He stayed with the sow all night and tried to keep the runt alive. I have so much respect for him. I think he could have stayed much longer and been truly happy (at least that's what I would hope for him). The lady, on the other hand, for her it was simply an experience, chores, ...all done...next! (She had absolutely no sewing skills. We all know she did not make that dress. I know, due to years of sewing from 15 yr old, a seamstress and quilt designer/maker.) When Alex remarked about being '...an archaeologist reading/excavating the past and this being an opportunity to do it for real and have the insight into the day-to-day country life in the 18th century'; hearing this, I wonder if he realizes the depth of impact this series has had on so many people. Not just those people he lived and worked with in that one year. It impacted "Our Lives", here in this 'digital community of the commenting world', full of people from various cultures, many different countries and cities....experiencing it all....together. This was not reading or excavating history, but making history all over again; by turning back the hands of time to a life filled with humble souls, hard working souls, modest living, but yet surrounded by riches far beyond what we consider "riches today". It brought people together and gave them...and us...a glimpse of life when it truly had a deeper meaning; without those living it ever knowing the effects of what they were creating or sharing. It was not done for pleasure, in most cases, but for reasons of survival....done in ways so that at the end of the day, yes, they may have had failures and successes; but most of all, I feel they had pride in themselves and what they had accomplished with so little luxuries. A pride in a way of life, along with their contributions, made a difference for years to come. A life, I pray, will find a way to continue on and possibly change our lives into a way of life we can be proud of and continue that pride into future generations. Thank you for sharing. I will be searching for this series on BBC. I LOVE BBC. I should move over there. I'd be perfectly happy living what years I have left in the UK countryside where my ancestors came from. L :)

I had to pause when the piglets were being sent away. Sigh... I know, I know, it's how things were. But I'm too empathetic (and prone to anthropomorphizing pets) to handle it. Knowing that they don't know they're going along cheerfully to their deaths is so depressing. Note I'm not complaining, this is as cruelty-free as one can possibly be (compared to how we mass-produce) and these pigs surely had the best possible life. That's wonderfully admirable... It's just still so hard to watch. Even with the turkey I was like this. I couldn't do it -- if I were Ruth I would cry every time I thought about Ena the turkey because I'd just MISS her, you know? It's so hard not to think of them as pets. I guess you have to be raised to learn to stop thinking that way; I don't know how kids get over the trauma of that first Christmas dinner, lol.

I think the fast food industry should be done away with, that'd help a bit. Better yet, the human race could use a good culling. Far too many humans and so many are awful anyway.

Needs more than one clove of garlic. I don't know why the British don't like it.

What an absolutely amazing and fascinating series! Thank you so much for posting this glimpse into our ancestor's daily life. It gives me that much more of an appreciation of all they went through just to survive.

I remember that, as a boy in 60's & 70's His records were advertised on t.v here in Newfoundland, Canada. I believe John Kilpatrick's records were being advertised on the basis of the song 'John Barleycorn Must Die', which was a bit of a hit for him in the day. Now I'm in my 50's and saw the ads when I was 6 - 10 yrs of age. Cool.

Another fabulous series by this group is concluded. From experts to the film crew, they all have a LOT to be proud of. There's no doubt that life on the Victorian Farm is NOT for the faint of heart. It takes total commitment, oodles of ingenuity, and tons of physical strength, as well as a healthy sense of humor. I'll miss watching it. Whatever will I do now? 🥺 ... Head on to their next series, The Edwardian Farm. ☺ BTW This series made it to my Playlists, "Unique/Interesting Hosts" and "KZitem at it's Best." Congratulations! 🏆 Thanks to my fellow commenters for enhancing the experience and to Fred for the uploads. (I wouldn't watch these at any other channel, even though it took me a while to remember Roman numerals.) Until we meet again. God bless you and keep you safe. Sincerely, Laura-Lee 😔 🇨🇦

I absolutely love all these programs. I did wonder. Has anyone suggested the ______ Farm drinking game? Take a shot every time the narrator says “disastrous”.

Doing stuff... VICTORIAN STYLE. Lovely series, really wholesome and such a nice break from all the drama and ridiculousness of modern "reality" television.

And "the wrong end of the stick" actually comes from the stick used to wipe your bum before TP was invented, or so they said in the respective documentary (The History of the Toilet").
